puffer empty

[Roman Töngi]

I can empty the keyboard puffer with the following:

while (cin.get() != '\n');

Is there not a standard function to clean the istream?

Hi Roman,

I think you are looking for this

cin.ignore(256,'\n');

Also I have been using this site as a reference and I find it great:

By the way, the term is "buffer", not "puffer".
